Discover the magic of the "blue prints" in this 4 hour (plus a 30 min byo-lunch break) Cyanotype workshop!

Cyanotypes,  also known as a blueprint, is a monochromatic print or image  made by  placing negatives, objects, or stencils on a piece of paper or  fabric  coated with a light sensitive material and placed in UV light to   develop. The areas hit with direct UV light turn a brilliant cyan blue  color whereas the areas blocked with exposure remain white. Cyanotypes  are then washed in a simple mix of water and hydrogen peroxide.

During  this workshop, you’ll master the entire cyanotype process—from  preparing your own cyanotype paper to washing your creations in a simple  water and hydrogen peroxide mix. Learn to make unique photograms and  contact prints, experimenting with various materials and techniques.  We’ll guide you through creating your own negatives using transparency  paper and different drawing tools.

Bring your  imagination and some small objects, photo negatives, leaves, or any  other items you'd like to experiment with. This is your chance to  explore the magical transformation of everyday objects into striking  blue-and-white works of art. Don't miss this opportunity to dive into  the world of cyanotype and create your own masterpieces!
